'Chinamma' Sasikala Natarajan to be the new AIADMK Party Chief

Keeping a seat for J Jayalalithaa, who died earlier this month, Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK decided in a meeting today to hand over the party's leadership to her closest friend Sasikala Natarajan.

On January 2, the 54-year-old will formally take over as AIADMK general secretary, a post held by Ms Jayalalithaa till she died on December 5. On cue, the solo Jayalalithaa banner outside the party office was replaced by one showing the former Chief Minister presenting flowers to Ms Natarajan. Slogans of "Long live Chinamma (mother's younger sister)" were shouted.

"Like we saw MGR (MG Ramachandran, AIADMK founder) in Jayalalithaa, we see Jayalalithaa in Sasikala," said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, whose place in the party's power structure after Ms Natarajan's elevation has been widely speculated.

Soon after the meeting, Mr Panneerselvam and other party leaders headed to the palatial home in Poes Garden that Ms Jayalalithaa shared with Ms Natarajan, a former video store owner. They later said she had accepted all the decisions taken at the meeting.

'Sasikala has said she will follow in Jayalalithaa's footsteps," said Mr Panneerselvam, who was sworn in as Chief Minister hours after Ms Jayalalithaa's death was declared.

Ms Natarajan's takeover as AIADMK chief was announced by party leaders as a given even though she is not technically qualified; the general secretary has to have completed five years as an active member.

Mr Panneerselvam is the first Chief Minister from AIADMK who will not be the general secretary of the party. It became a tradition as Ms Jayalalithaa held both posts, unchallenged.

Ms Natarajan was kept away from party and government functioning by Ms Jayalalithaa while she was alive, but her considerable influence over key decisions is well-known.

As lakhs paid tribute to their "Amma" after her death, Ms Natarajan emerged as a strong presence by her side, exuding power as top party leaders, including Mr Panneerselvam, retreated to the sidelines.

Sources say Mr Panneerselvam wants to serve out his term and the BJP, which rules at the centre, too has openly said it backs the man elected by the AIADMK's legislators as chief minister.

Veteran Filmmaker and social activist, Ashok Pandit, slams Jammu and Kashmir state government over granting of bail to Masrat Alam

Describing Jammu and Kashmir High Court's decision to grant bail to Masrat Alam as failure of the prosecution, veteran filmmaker and social activist Ashok Pandit on Wednesday urged the state government to hire best lawyer to send the separatist leader back to jail.

"It is failure of the prosecution. The state missionary has failed to prove a terrorist as terrorist in the courts of law. If such a known terrorist gets out of jail on bail then nothing can be tragic than this," Pandit told ANI.

He further termed the release of Alam as a sad news for the security forces who fight every day and lose their lives.

"I appeal the state government and state missionary to hire best possible legal luminary, the lawyer and see to it that the terrorist goes back to jail otherwise the confidence of common man will go down," he added.

Echoing similar sentiments, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) leader Harsh Dev Singh alleged that the government has not contested the case with all seriousness.

"The government never wanted to arrest him. It was the media and public because of which he was arrested. This decision is in pursuance of the soft separatism of the government," Singh told ANI.

Singh further said that if elements like Alam are given open space and the government does not take stern action against them then the situation would continue to deteriorate in the valley.

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court earlier in the day directed Mehbooba Mufti-led government to immediately release Alam from preventive custody.

A bench of Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar quashed Alam's detention after hearing his counsel Mian Abdul Qayoom and the state counsel.

Alam, who has been languishing in jail for the past six years on charges of fomenting trouble and posing a threat to public safety in the Valley, was booked under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) following the 2010 violent unrest.
